Established in 2007, under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) links 7 university-based nodes to provide researchers and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities.

The capability provided by ANFF enables users to process hard materials (metals, composites and ceramics) and soft materials (polymers and polymer-biological moieties) and transform these into structures that have application in sensors, medical devices, nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.
